## What it is
RepoStore is a native Android app that acts as an open-source app store for GitHub releases, discovering repositories that ship installable APKs and letting users install, track, and update them from one place. It is built in pure Kotlin with Material 3 and MVVM architecture, using the public GitHub Search API with no manual curation.

## Use cases
- discover open-source Android apps published on GitHub
- install APKs from GitHub releases in one tap
- track installed apps and get update notifications
- browse trending and recently updated FOSS Android apps
- publish my Android app so it appears in an open app store
- find F-Droid-style alternatives to the Play Store

## When to choose
- you want a Play Store-like experience for FOSS Android apps distributed via GitHub releases
- you are a developer shipping APKs on GitHub and want automatic discoverability without a submission process
- you prefer open-source, MIT-licensed tooling on modern Android devices

## When to avoid
- you need iOS or desktop app distribution
- you require curated or vetted app listings with security review
- you need apps not distributed as GitHub release APK assets

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, search-engine, file-upload, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools
